He made a will in Bourbon County, Ky., 10/2/1838. Will of William L. Fisher Will Book L page 105
In the name of God, Amen. I, William L. Fisher of Bourbon County, Kentucky, being weak in body, but believing myself of a sound and disposing mind; and considering the uncertainty of this mortal life, do make and publish this my last will and Testament as follows to wit: First, after my just debt and burying expenses are paid, I give and bequeath unto my beloved wife, Hannah Fisher all my personal estate not disposed of by written gifts, bonds, and deeds, to my eight children, bearing an older date than this Will. I have also endorsed to my son, James H. Fisher, (my Executor) one thousand dollars in cash notes to be held by him until the death of my wife; for which he is to pay ten percent interest yearly, to my wife, for her support which interest she shall control and dispose of as she may think proper. I also give unto my wife twenty acres of land, which I held James Howards bond for, during her natural life, for her support, provided she remains my widow until her death, but if she should marry, then my will is, that she shall be put to her thirds of the twenty acres of land and moveable property; the moveable property to be sold and the two thirds of the land be rented until my youngest son Maddox D. Fisher, shall become of age, and all the proceeds to be paid to Amanda M. Fisher, and added to the written gifts I have made to her previous to this will, she being bound to receipt to my executor for the same. I also give unto my wife, a negro woman named Maria, subject to the conditions contained in the gift, and at the death of my wife, the said Maria is to belong to my daughter Margaret W. Sutton subject to the conditions contained in the gift, provided Margaret is alive at the death of my wife, but if she is not then the said Maria shall be sold to some one of my children who may bid the highest for her, subject to the conditions set forth in the written gift, and the proceeds to be added to the balance of my real and personal estate, to be equally divided between all my children, after Amanda W. Fisher, and Maddox D. Fisher shall be made equal with my six eldest children. I wish no administration to take place at my death in either my real and personal estate, but to be left in my wife's hands, excepting what will pay my just debts. Such surplus personal property as my wife can best spare is to be sold to pay my debts but at any time at the option of my wife. She may divide the whole balance of land not deeded, to my two youngest children, that is to say her undivided maiden land, and my twenty acres, for which I hold James Howard's land, between Amandy W. Fisher and Maddox D. Fisher, equally, by selling the land to them at forty-five dollars per acre, and then adding the land and written gifts which I have made to them, and when the whole amount is ascertained, they shall be compelled to pay over to my Executor, all the surplus over fifteen hundred dollars each, and the said balance shall be retained in his hands; the interest of which shall go to the support of my wife, during her lifetime, andat her death, to be equally divided between all my children with the thousand dollars now in his hands (would be my will if I had the disposal of the maiden property), by giving Amandy W. Fisher and Maddox D. Fisher, four annual payments, they being subject to pay six percent interest per annum, or rent at four dollars per acre for the four years, or until paid, for the support of my wife; or if my wife should see proper to board with Amandy or Maddox, for the interest or rent, she may do so. If Margaret W. Sutton should live until the death of my wife, Mariah is to be valued to her subject to the conditions contained in the written gift and if said Mariah amounts to more than her share of an equal division in the whole estate, she shall be subject to pay over the surplus to my Executor to be equally divided in the last division of my estate among my seven other children; but Margaret W. Sutton shall retain her equal child's part in the girl, provided it is sufficient having given to my son James H. Fisher fifteen hundred dollars in land and moveable property, for which I hold his receipt and have made him a deed to the land, I therefore debar him from receiving any more, until my two youngest children are made equal to him. Having given unto my son Samuel L. Fisher fifteen hundred dollars in land and moveable property or which I hold his receipt and have made him a deed to the land, I therefore debar him from receiving any more until my two youngest children are made equal to him. Having given unto my daughter, Margaret M. Sutton, fifteen hundred dollars in land and moveable property, for which I hold her receipt, and have made her a deed to the land, I therefore debar her from receiving any more until my two youngest children are made equal to her. Having given unto my daughter Sarah S. Mock, one negro child named Fanny, moveable property and land, to the amount of fifteen hundred dollar, for which I hold her receipt, and have made her a deed to the land, I therefore debar her from receiving may more of myestate, until my two youngest children are made equal to her. Having given unto my son John H. Fisher fifteen hundred dollars in land for which I hold his receipt, and have made him a deed to the same, I therefore debar him from receiving any more of my estate, until my two youngest children are made equal to him. Having given unto my daughter Anna W. Bowman, one negro woman named Rebecca, moveable property and money to the amount of fifteen hundred dollars, for which I hold Jacob Bowman's receipt, I therefore debar from receiving any more until my two youngest children are made equal to her. Having given unto my daughter Amandy W. Fischer in a written gift one negro girl named Mary; one brass Clock, on mare saddle and bridle one bed and bedstead, amounting in all to three hundred and forty five dollars, which is to be counted to her as a part of fifteen hundred dollars which she is to receive to make her equal to my six eldest children, and after she receives fifteen hundred dollars, I debar her from receiving any more until the last division of my estate; but if the above named negro girl Mary should die before Amandy should marry or come of age, she shall receive from my undivided estate one hundred and fifty dollars in room of the said girl; having given unto my son Maddox D. Fisher, in a written gift one negro boy named Charles, one bed and bed stead, amounting in all to three hundred and fifty dollars which is to be counted to him as a part of fifteen hundred dollars which he is to receive to make him equal with my six eldest , and after he receives fifteen hundred dollars, I hereby debar him from receiving any more of my estate, until the last division of my property which will be after the death of my wife but if said negro body, Charles, should die before Maddox D. Fisher should come of age,he shall receive from my undivided estate, three hundred dollars in room of said negro boy. I now close my will and do ordain and appoint it to be my last will and testament, hereby revoking all former wills made by me, and do hereby ordain and appoint my son James H. Fisher my Executor.

Misc. Notes
1674 Henry Pennington of Somerset County sold his 500-acres patent to Phillip Fisher and the next year his wife Margarett Peddenden released her dower rights, 1639 The will of a John Fisher mentioned sons John, Stephen and Phillip, and perhaps the last named was the one who accumulated a large acreage here.
1646 Patent to Michael Williams for 250 acres which were east and north-east of the Pedenden land. Title passed to a son Michael and in 1675 he and his wife Anne sold to Fisher. 1663 Fisher bought 100 acres.1673 Fisher bought 225 acres east of the Michael Williams land; they came from a large patent to Henry White.
1703 Phillip Fisher (wife Elizabeth) left his land entailed to his sons Thomas and John; the former to have the home part in the neck and the latter was to get what approximately were the Williams and White lands. Fisher also mentioned daughters Bridgett Bradford, Mary Smith, Anne Gascoigne, Tamer Hunt and Rebecca Fisher.
Thomas Fisher Part
1709 Apparently young Thomas had died intestate as his widow Patience was granted administration on his estate, and the next year it was mentioned in a record that she had married Francis Wainhouse. Maddox Fisher, as the eldest son, inherited the entailed land. 1750 Fisher (wife Susanna) did not mention the land in his will, but it went to his eldest son Thomas, and in 1767 the latter's land was surveyed as 850 acres. At this time this Thomas Fisher appeared in the records as Thomas Fisher, Jr., because a cousin Thomas, descended from John, was the elder of the two and he was designated as Thomas Fisher, Sr. 1769 Thomas Fisher, Jr., petitioned the Assembly to have the entail docked on 405 of his acres, which was granted, and the next year he and his wife Sarah sold this land to Esau Jacob. It was the east end of his holdings. 1770 Esau and his wife Vianna Gray Jacob resold to John Mapp who later died intestate and the title passed to his son Robins Mapp. 1799 He and his wife Peggy Mapp sold to John Tompkins, who by this time was the owner of the rest of the neck, so it was all together again.
1776 Fisher had had the entail docked for the balance of his land which he and his wife Sarah now sold as 444 acres to John Tompkins. By this time, Thomas Fisher, Sr., had died, and this one had become "Sr.," so the young cousin became designated as "Jr."
In 1747 Tompkins had married Anne the widow of John Custis and they had a daughter Peggy Custis Tompkins who later married William W. Wilson. Anne died before her second husband.
I820 John Tompkins (wife now Frances) left his land to his daughter
Peggy C. Wilson and then to her children, who were Margaret S., Mary Ann F., Sally J. and John T. Wilson. Later in the same year Wilson (wife Peggy C.)' left the manor plantation to his daughter Margaret, the wife of John H. Bayly, and the east end to his daughter Mary Ann F., the wife of Edward Stratton.
The land received by Mrs. Stratton will be disposed of first, 1865 She died childless and left her property to her nephew Edmonia W. Bayly and her niece Rachel U. Jacob (husband Teackle Jacob), they being children of her sister Mrs. Margaret S. Bayly. Mrs. Bayly also died and in the next year a long deed of partition was entered into by the heirs of the two sisters. In this deed the Stratton land was placed in the hands of trustees for sale and in I875 it was purchased by William B. Upshur.
In the will of William W. Wilson this part of the land was called Bush Hill, a name which has continued in use. A substantial house must have been erected here during the Mapp ownership but it has long since gone.
1866 In the partition of this year the manor plantation went to John B. Bayly and Rachel U. Jacob for her life and then her part to her daughter Margaret W. Smith, the wife of Dr. Charles Smith. Bayly had died without issue, and before her death in 1922 Mrs. Smith had become the sole owner. 1923 In a survey and division for her children, the house and about 40 acres went to a daughter Mrs. Elizabeth B. Robinson, who three years later deeded her inheritance to her son William K. Robinson. 1939 A trustee sold to Mrs. Evelyn V. Willing and three years later trustees for her estate sold to G. B. and Emily Louise Hurlbut. Two years later Mrs. Hurlhut's husband assigned his interest to her alone.
John Fisher Part
1720 The will of John Fisher mentioned no land, but being entailed it went to his eldest son Thomas. 1727 He left everything to his wife Sarah, but the land went to his eldest son, also a Thomas. 1772 Thomas, Jr. (wife Mary), left to his son Thomas III but upon his death without issue the title reverted to his mother, who married Tully R. Wise, the son of Colonel John Wise IV. 1812 He left the property to a son of the same name, and in 1841 Tully R. and Ann K. Wise sold the plantation of 758 acres by survey to Southy S. Satcheil. Two years later he deeded to Edward C. Satchell and in 1876 a commissioner sold to John L. Harmanson. 1893 The farm was bought by George W. Rhea and four years later by John E. Nottingham. 1917 In a division of the Nottingham lands the house and 129 acres went to the late Jerome W. Nottingham.
The present name of Holly Grove first appeared in the 1841 deed. In the 1812 will of Tully R. Wise he directed "the house now building to be finished," so its age is definitely determined, in spite of the fact that over the front door is a brick dated 1761. The survey of 1841 showed another and older house standing some distance east of the present one, so perhaps the dated brick came from it. In early days this older house is said to have been called Silver Plain, and still later Castle Thunder.
Both front and rear entrances have double doors, but there is no cross hall, and the front opens into a large square hall with an open stair well to the third floor. The mantels in the three first-floor rooms are hand-carved, but the designs are all different. The window lintels are of wood with some slight ornamentation, and on the inside all the window embrasures converge towards the outside through the thick brick wall.

PHILIP (2) FISHER (bef. 1637-1703) (John (1)) patented 100 acres in Northampton County, 26 November 1661 (F) and at the time of his death was owner of more than 800 acres. In his will, dated 9 December 1701, endorsed by him 7 March 1701/02 and proved 1 March 1702/03, Northampton, he divides a portion of his land among his three sons and devises 400 acres at the mouth of Muddy Creek to them jointly. Six daughters are named in his provisions for reversion and to two of them he bequeathed "Burntwood Island near the mouth of Muddy Creek." Also named in his will were his wife Elizabeth and two grandsons.(G)
